John E. Connerat (ID: 000000bd6eefdf1d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/04/2022 If you are struggling with writing the exact right boto3 or AWS CLI or JavaScript code snippets, this tool saves you a huge amount of time. Not only is it a really smart and clever idea but its implementation is awesome. It doesn't work for every single API call but it works enough to give you a decent skeleton. Great job!
